2026 posts by fellow physicians that mention @myeloma_doc, quoted word for word.

#ASH25 @AlfredChung11 updated AURIGA focused on MRD dynamics, including MRD resurgence ( ➖ ➡️➕). Similar to IMROZ data last year by @Myeloma_Doc ... MRD resurgence less common with continued CD38 pressure, even in HR. Another argument in favor of its inclusion in maintenance! https://t.co/MUGIVxxLRP
